Pressestimmen
An indispensable reference for would-be explorers. -- Ben Waterhouse Willamette Week 20090701 For those who have only seen the Willamette River as a polluted, dirty waterway, Williams' account will have them searching for the secluded stretches graced with white egrets, great blue herons, and swallows. -- Beth Casper Salem Statesman Journal 20090427 The river that defines the state in so many ways has its first comprehensive travel guide, natural history, and political action manual wrapped into one book. Oregonian 20090326 Impressive for its mix of history, bird, fish, and wildlife information; its suggested paddle trips and parks; and the beautiful photography. -- Elizabeth Ussher Groff (Sellwood) Bee 20001231
Kurzbeschreibung
The Willamette River flows for nearly 200 miles, through deep forests, green valleys, and past cities - Eugene, Springfield, Corvallis, Albany, Salem, Keizer, Newberg, Oregon City, and Portland. Yet it is a river hiding in plain sight: until now, there has been no comprehensive guide to the Willamette. Following the river downstream from its tributaries through its vast valleys and to the tidal flats beyond Portland, "The Willamette River Field Guide" is the story of Oregon's earliest inhabitants, the connection between the river and the towns along its banks, the wildlife it supports, and the effects of alterations to its geography and ecology. It includes tips for more than a dozen riverside visits and trips. Twelve maps cover each segment of the river. Beautiful new color photographs and rare historical photos help tell the story. Travis Williams knows the river intimately and cares about it passionately. Whether you take in the views from land or water, or just dip into this fascinating guide from home, after reading this book you will know the Willamette River as you never have before.

I love this book!
21. Mai 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is the best book I've found on the Willamette River. The author takes you from the headwaters all the way down. After reading this book I feel almost like I've traveled the river myself. He discusses the history of the river and its headwaters, plant life, wildlife, paddling hazards, paddling trips, locations to put in and pull out your canoe/kayak and points of interest along the way. The author is knowledgeable, passionate, a skilled paddler, and a local. If you're not already excited about the Willamette River, this book will get you there!
About what I expected

Format:Taschenbuch
Interesting facts about the Willamette interspersed with enviromental/sustainability/anti-powerboating rhetoric.
Throw it in the boat and use it to discover some new fishing areas (and avoid some potential propeller hazards).
